Aromobates alboguttatus
(
Boulenger 1903
)
*
Holotype
:
BM 1947.2.13.88
.
Type locality:
“
Mérida
, Estado Mérida,
Venezuela
, a
1,600 m
.”
Distribution:
Region 1. Andes of Estado
Mérida
.
Remarks:
The species appears to have vanished in the wild (
Barrio-Amorós and Santos 2012
).
Rivero (1982a)
included
Colostehus inflexus
Rivero,
1978
in the synonymy of
C. alboguttatus
. La Marca (1997) recovered the species as
Nephelobates inflexus
, without explanation.
Barrio-Amorós and Santos (2012)
consider this species different from
A. alboguttatus
and valid, but awaiting proper attention and a redescription.
